Get long layers, angled around the front maybe with a longer soft fringe to offset the oblong head. Also when you go, ask the stylist if they can chunk it rather than thin it (using 7 or 11 tooth chunking shears as opposed to the 35 or 40 tooth thinners ) chunking removes bulk without adding volume, if it's already wavy I'm guessing your don't want it to get any bigger. And be sure to ask for below shoulder length, wavy and curly hair shrinks up, the layers are going to take some weight off so it thinning it out, with either chunkers or thinners.

thin your hair and get a better straightener. the thinning will help with the frizzyness and a really good (and hot) straightener will make it easier to straighten

Not an expert... but if you have very thick hair, a straight cut can make your hair look boxy and "poofy" - in a bad way. I would suggest maybe choppy layers - just definitely not all the same length. Make sure you let your stylist know that you want your haircut to be low-maintainance, and he or she can probably work with you to find something you like that will work well with your hair and face.

I have fairly thick hair (rather straight, though) and had it long for quite some time. A couple of years back I had it cut pretty short - *almost* boy short - shaped close to my head in the back, and easing down to chin-length in the front, with razored choppy layers all over. It looked pretty good and was SOOO easy to take care of. As it grew out again, though, it was kinda hard to keep it from looking like...well, like I needed a haircut :P So keep that in mind if this is going to be a temporary thing. Layers can look pretty yuck while you're trying to grow them out again.
